India pride themselves on being an excellent catching side, but they put down five chances of varying degrees of difficulty on Sunday night during their six-wicket win over Pakistan here on Sunday. The tone was set in the very first over of Pakistan’s innings by Abhishek Sharma, who dropped Sahibzada Farhan off the third ball of the game, off Hardik Pandya, with the right-hander and his side yet to get off the mark.

Farhan reprieved

Farhan made the most of that reprieve to top-score with a breezy half-century, helping Pakistan post a competitive 171 for five at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium after being put in by Suryakumar Yadav. In reply India chased the target in 18.5 overs.
